Non-tenured full-time professors will no longer have to reapply for their jobs at the end of each contract.
Faculty and students joined the picketing at Rutgers-Camden on the second day of a faculty strike.As the historic strike of three Rutgers University faculty unions reached the end of its first week Friday, the unions announced a potentially “transformative” tentative agreement on job security for non-tenured full-time professors.
“This is game-changing for faculty members who haven’t had the protection of tenure,” said Rebecca Givan, president of the largest striking union, Rutgers AAUP-AFT. “We’ve taken an important step toward confronting the precarity faced by over 70% of the educators, researchers, and clinicians at Rutgers.” The other 30% are tenured or tenure-track professors, who have job security.
